Update: An in-silico approach to understanding DUX4 expression
Sep 19, 2023, 12:25 PM
We have developed a computational cellular model of FSHD, based on a mechanism where expression of DUX4 (currently the main target for FSHD therapy) leads to muscle cell death.

Muscle Stem Cells from Teratomas
Jul 10, 2018, 7:42 PM
Michael Kyba's lab shows that functional skeletal muscle stem cells can be produced from mouse pluripotent stem cells without genetic modification through teratoma formation. As few as 40,000 teratoma-derived cells can regenerate 80% of total muscle volume, improve force generation, and mature into functional muscle stem cells in vivo.
